SORGHUM SUGAR.

Prof. Cowgirl Upon the Experiments at
TT. Scott-Kansas VIII Become "a Sugar
State.
Fl. SOoTr, KAN, September professor
Z. B. Cowgirl, of Sterling, Rice county, who
is here representing the state, watching the
course of the experiments being conducted
by the Parkinson Sugar company with sOr-
ghum cane, said in an interview to-day:
''Ihe Parkinson Sugar works have exceed
ed the most sanguine expectations of the
friends of the sorghum sugar industry by
turning out 100 pounds Of sugar
per ton. The act of last winter provides
that on all sugar made IN the state contain
ing 80 or more per cent of crystalized
sugar the state shall pay bounty of cents
per pound i have not yet analysed any OF
this sugar, but from analysis made this week
by Mr.. Fake, a government chemist who
is here, 1t appears that the company have
a large margin above the required 80
which the Parkinson company viii receive
under this act viii run somewhere from
5000 to $500. 1t is difficult to see how
this yield of sugar can fail to make Kansas a
sugar state. This yield is about equal to
that from tropical cane, which costs two and
a half times as much per ton for It's prOduc-
ton. Sorghum viii enable Kansas to pro-
duce the sugar for the country"
Being asked whether he thought the eE-
periments should be continued further by
the government, MIR. Cowgirl said that they
should, and gave as his reason that If made
at private expense one of two undesirable
conditions will arise-eitheE the processes
developed viii be kept secret and mum to
the benefit OF a few, or the results of the
propriated by the entire country without
conversation.

TERRIBLE GALE

The Fishing Banks on the Coast of New
FOundland Visited by a Storm that Great
ed Havoc Among the Fishing Fleet.
ST JOINS, n. F., September S.-Reports
daily arriving from all parts Of the country
90 to show that the gale Of the 26th of Aug
ust was one that viii long be remembered
for the loss Of life and the extent of the dam
age sustained from it. At and around the
island Of st. Pierre, the gale ragged IN all its
fury. vessel, name unknown, was
wrecked on the bank Of Langley island,
near st. Pierre, and as no trace Of her crew
has yet been found, it is feared that they
must have all met with a watery grave. Sew
eraI large vessels went ashore on Dog Is
iand-near st. Pierre, and in many. cases be-
came total wrecks. One hun
dred thousand dollars viii not
cover the extent OF the damage to property
sustained by New EOuudland vessels that
were on banks during the storm. Dories
were swept away, anchors slipped, and burst

lost and abandoned are daily reported and
many a vessel arriving has even sadder
record 10 tell OF those WhO. went forth IN the
morning ana never hada chance of returning,
but we're swallowed up IN the piEless storm
or driven to sea to die of starvation. The
French banker "Acadienne'' lost two of her
Joseph Amadc'' also had two Of her
crew swept overheard. The French
banker ''Chevheul' reports having passed
a long vessel bottom up On the banks. 1t
was too rOGgh at the time to make any close
observations which would lead to her denti-
hcation. From the description, however, it
would appear to be the French banker, ''ChsV-
heul, " sailing from st. Pierre, with a crew
of fifteen men. The banker t'Ruby M" Of
Fortune, N. F., has just arrived, having rid
den out the gale, but with the unfortunate IN
tel1gence that her captain was knocked
overheard by a stroke from the end of the
cable. There are as many as five banking
schOOnsrs missing from Burin, five from
Grand Bank and one from Burgeo, all of
which were on the banks the morning of the
gale and have not yet been heard from. If
the worst should come to pass and these YES
sells are lost, the bread winners of hundreds
viii have met a watery grave. Nor are the
south and west portions of the coast the only
places that have suffered. A telegram to-
day from Tilt Cove gives the first report
from Labrador OF the gale, and it states that
from places so far as heard from as many as
ten schoOners have been lost, but fortunate
ly no lives.

TOOL. Them Single Handed.

ALBUQUERQUE, n. NJ, September "a
desperate shooting affair occurred last night
at HOlbroOk, Apache county, Ariz., in which
Andy Cooper and a half brother named
Samuel Blevins were killed by Sheriff
Owens, and John Blsvins and Nose
Roberts wounded, the former slightly, the
latter MORALLY. On Monday last Sheriff
Owens learned that four men had arrived in
HOlbroOk and were residing IN a small
house near the railroad track.
Armed with a Winchester, the officer
started alone to arrest the desperadOes.
Arriving at the house he knocked, and upon
the door being opened by Andy Cooper, the
officer informed him he had a warrant for
his arrest. The only reply he received was
bullet which passed through
the sheriff's coat. Fortunately it did
not iniure him. The fire was returned
and Cooper fell dead. The shooting then
became general. Owens took position at
the window, shooting all three men inside
of the house. Samuel Blevens, one of the
killed, was a boy II years o. age, but fully
Is desperate as his older companions.

TOLEDO, September THE tornado which
visited this section originated in south Mich
igan. It first struck Sylvinia, a village ten
miles north Of Toledo, blowing down two
gas well derricks and the boiler of one from
its foundation. Three horses in a pasture
were killed by falling trees. All tai trees
were leveIed; lower ones were spared. One
farmer had fifty acres of fine timber all
blown down. A brick school house at
Niche was destroyed. The damage near
Toledo has already been given. The track
of the tornado was south by east from here.
Along the line of the Toledo Il Ohio Central
railroad the track of the storm can
be followed as far as the eye can
reach. It is from 100 to goo yards wide. No
fences nor tail trees are standing IN this
track. Corn Is scattered and houses and
barns. unrOofed for miles. AT WHtergllle
and other cities 70 the southwark there Is
much injury done. The total damage fOOts
up many thousands of dollars. No loss OF
life Is reported, but many narrow escapes
are narrated. The rumOr that the new
insane asylum here was destroyed Is lncor-
rect. The slate roofs of a number or the
buildings were badly damaged and the tower
ing chimneys Ofthe main bulldingwere blown
down, crushing the roof IN. The total loss
10 the asylum is about $4,000. Wabash
train met the center OF the tornado and the
BmOkestack of the locomotive was carried
OF. DR.. Embury, assistant superintendent
of the asylum, was driving into the grounds
at the time, his wife and little girl being with
him. The buggy was overturned and the
three thrown out. The doctor held on TO the
horse, which, with the vehicle, was lifted
and carried several rods. His wife and child
were carried over 100 feet and dropped into
a ditch IN two feet OF water, whence they
were rescued. None of the three were hurt.

A SENSATIONAL CASE.
Suit Brought by His Children to Break the
VIII of the Late .Tudaa nfcIzev

Suit Brought by His Children to Break the
VIII of the Late Judge DieIDey.
CHICAGO, Ill, September 8.-A sensation
al bill was fled in the supreme court to-day
to break the will of the late eminent jurist,
Judge 7. Lyle DiclIey, of the federal court.
The value of the estate does not exceed &c.,
600. 1t is another circumstance of the case
and it is IN the prominence Of all the parties
that the interest lies. According to
the viii, the widow, Mrs. Buehlah Dickeys
was bequeathed the entire estate. She was
Judge Dickey's second wife. The com
plainants are his children, all of whom were
by his first wife. They are John j.. Dickey,
of Omaha; Martha A. Wallace, Of Ottawa,
H.; Chas. ii. Dickey, of HOIuk, Hawaiian
islands, and Victoria b. Wallace, of the same
place. The court is asked to carry
out the intention of the deceased, which Is
declared to be that the widow receive one
third of the estate as provided by law and
the residue 70 60 to the children. 1t Is said
that the second marriage, which occurred IN
1870, proved disastrous to him and his chill
dren. The wife Is described as being OF
such violent temper that he was obliged to
desert her for several years. Afterward
she compelled him, how is not stated, to make
the viii ignoring his children. Then the
startling charge Is made that when the
judge was on his death bed he begged the
presence of a lawyer for the purp ose of
making new Will. This boon was denied,
and it is charged that, pending the death of
the aged judge, his wife, for purposes of her
own, would allow no one to see him but her
self

Trial of the Boston"

WASHINGTON, September 8.-The official
report OF the officers in charge Of the new
cruiser Boston, - upon her trial trip up
Long Island Sound, has been received at the
navy department The trial lasted six
hours and resulted in the development of
more horse power than the g, 500 required by
the contract The maximum collect
i've horse power developed by the
machinery during the trial was 4246.
while the mean power during the trial was
$3.50. The mean distance run per hour was
ID $40 knots. The low speed attained by
the Boston, 5" as compared with the ''Atlan-
ia, - is attributed to the fact that the vessel
has not been docEed for a year and
her bottom is foul, while the eat
Ianta." when on trial, had a clean
hull fresh from the dock. 1t Is
believed that when the fremen are thorough
IL familiar with the Boston, 1000 horse
power can be maintained under forced
draft.

but Mr.. Labouchere has gone to
Cork. The persons killed were an old
man famed RicOrdon, q resident of
the locality, and an elderly cabman from
Ferney. The injuries received by the police
consist principally of scalp wounds and
bruises. The meeting in the market square
was attended by 1000 people. Dillon Bruno,
John Ellis, Condor and Obea were present
A government reporter with escort
of police tried to push to the front.
The crowd resisted them with sticks
and stones. The police then made
the charge against the crowd and were re-
pulsed by men on horseback. Condor tried
to pacify the crowd. Dillon advised them
to treat the police with silent contempt, be-
cause home rule was not only won
but that the Irish forces would be under con-
troll of people instead of, as now, IN the
hands of their enemies. The row was re-
newed. however, and reinforcements Of pO-

LEAvEBwoRrH, KAN, September Sat a
meeting Of the board of trade tonight resO-
IutiOns were passed describing the splendid
coal basis surrounding L6aVenWOrth, stating
that twenty coal shafts of %, 600 bushels ca
pacity per day would not supply
the demands of the outlying territory and
favoring the voting of $4,000 in 8 per cent.
bonds as a subsidy to each Of two or more
coal shafts within the city limits, under
taken and carried through by reputable in
dependent companies with sufficient
capital and guarantees NUM-
Der of the most prominent
business men spoke favorably upon the

to be ready to sink one or more mines if
such aid was voted; and seeing that
the demand for LeavenWoFth coal
Is so great it was urged to the speakers that
the meeting should act at once The resO-
lutiOns were passed unanimously. These
two mines, added to the three We now have,
would make LeavenwOrth the largest coal
